The 2013 Golden Globe Awards is history, and aside from Jodie Foster’s heartfelt speech (this blogger’s commentary here), the show contained a few surprises. Foremost among them was Argo taking both Best Director for Ben Affleck, and Best Picture, beating Steven Speilberg and his epic movie Lincoln in the process.
Also, Quentin Tarentino won for Best Screenplay, even as Django Unchained was being blasted for its excessive use of the N-word. What does that say about the Hollywood Foreign Press Association?
Finally, show hosts Tina Fey and Amy Pohler were amazing, with the best joke they told, well, Amy said, was about Katheryn Bigelow being married to James Cameron being like torture. Or, “I don’t know about the torture controversy surrounding Zero Dark Thirty but I trust a lady that was married for three years to James Cameron.”
OUCH!
No word from Cameron, who’s too busy talking about deep sea exploration to care.
